Close collaboration with the industry is the main strength of the Applied Life Sciences programme. In the programme we address the entire flow from theory via the composition of the feed to the actual production in our own mill. The hands-on experience gained by formulating the recipes in BESTMIX and producing them with state-of-the-art formulation software also adds to the students' resumes.

Our ERP solution needs to efficiently support various specifics in relation to product, recipy and quality management. The ERP solution needs to guarantee the timely inflow of materials, the timely transfer of those materials for production, as well as the proper handling for MTS or MTO delivery. It is built for tight integration with our plant automation software. As a base, we’ve chosen MILAS AX, an industry-specific solution of Adifo for the premix industry.

As a global player in the animal feed business we need to be innovative and collaborate with leading technology suppliers. The strategic alliance with Adifo allows us to meet our objectives and realise our projects. BESTMIX LIMS and BESTMIX Formulation are critical components of our NutriOpt precision feeding approach.

With 7 feed plants in 4 countries and 200+ recipes, BESTMIX Feed formulation and BESTMIX LIMS ensure efficient and accurate formulations. The Multiperiod Multiblend module provides an optimum solution for purchasing amounts and positions, guaranteeing the best use of ingredients in different plants, and reducing our raw material costs.

We use BESTMIX to formulate about 1.600 formulas in 8 plants. Due to its extensive multiblend functionality and its strong integration with ERP and production, BESTMIX saves us a lot of time. Furthermore the software is always up to date with upcoming legislation and industry requirements.

BESTMIX puts us in a position to make very precise calculations and work more efficiently, this leads to higher quality products. Combining BESTMIX with SAP has ensured that R&D and production are now much more closely involved in the logistics and purchasing process.

During the optimisation process we see all of the safety icons appear, which gives us flexibility to play with ingredients and admixture percentages until we reach the desired result. This is all thanks to Adifo’s REACH module and constitutes a great asset for our company.

Patrick Vanden Avenne, CEO at Vanden Avenne-Ooigem and former President of FEFAC, European Feed Manufacturers' Federation

The feed industry in Europe is being challenged continuously by new market developments and consolidation. Resource efficiency is a key success factor to keep ahead of the increasingly competitive market. It's my personal experience that Adifo knows how to respond succesfully to this business challenge.

Luciano Roppa, former Vice President Feed Solutions Provimi

Following the global implementation of the BESTMIX feed formulation software, we are now implementing BESTMIX LIMS to manage, among other things, the NIR analyses from our different factories. BESTMIX LIMS will allow us to evaluate this NIR data efficiently and use it to update the ingredient matrix of BESTMIX feed formulation, resulting in a more accurate feed formulation and more added value for our customers
